How is the report on the operation of workwear kept?
Overalls are accounted for in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 135n dated 26.12.2002, in accordance with the methodological guidelines for accounting. If the service life of the overalls is up to a year and the cost is less than 40 thousand rubles, it refers to material expenses and is written off on the day it is issued to the employee. The accounting entry is as follows:
Debit 23 (25.26) Credit 10
If these indicators are higher, then it refers to the depreciable property. If the cost of clothing is not fully written off, then the entry will be:
Debit 94 Credit 10
When the service life is over, no entry is made in accounting, but a record of disposal is made. In the event that the clothes are damaged through the fault of the employee, and the cost is deducted from the guilty person, the record will look like this:
Debit 73 Credit 94 or Debit 91/2 Credit 94 - write-off of losses
There are situations when clothes become unusable due to the prevailing circumstances, an emergency. In this case, the following entry is made in accounting:
Debit 99 Credit 10
When an employer donates overalls free of charge, the record will look like this:
Debit 91/2 Credit 10 (01)
When giving out clothes to an employee, the employer reserves the right to property, thus, there are situations when clothes must be returned:
- Dismissal.
- Transfer to another position that does not require this kind of clothing to perform professional duties.
- End of service life.
The cost of clothing not returned, lost or damaged will be deducted from the employee's salary. Upon dismissal of an employee, winter overalls can be written off if their service life has expired or if it is damaged. Suitable work clothing that has not expired can be issued to a new employee or trainee.
Shoes are not transferable to another employee. And returnable overalls must be dry cleaned before being handed over to a new employee.
The issuance and delivery of overalls to the employee must be recorded using an entry in the accounting card. But such a form does not provide for the signature of an employee who receives overalls for use, and therefore, for primary accounting, forms are provided for, approved by the Resolution of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation No. 71a dated 10/30/1997:
- Low-value items registration card No. MB-2.
- Disposal certificate No. MB-4.
- Statement of accounting for the issuance of overalls No. MB-7.
- Write-off certificate No. MB-8.
Overalls cannot be classified as fixed assets, because they do not correspond to the definition of this concept.
The employer must issue winter overalls based on the climatic zone in which the workers are located. Its accounting is simple, and the issue and return should be recorded in special cards, statements and acts. To avoid misunderstandings, the signature of the employee who received the overalls is required.

Pair selection

Based on these indicators, footwear from low temperatures is divided into the following types:
- Rubber boots with insulation. Consist of a high-strength die-cast boot. The cuff is made of neoprene for excellent lightness and elasticity. The inside is made of multi-layer insulation and is a removable insert. These boots will be lighter than sneakers and will withstand up to -25 C. Ideal shoes for long walks in the forest.
- Polyurethane based boots. Polyurethane shoes have anti-slip and excellent thermal insulation properties. Seamless molding allows for durability and excellent water resistance. The porous structure is a good heat insulator, and reduces the weight of the product by 30%, in relation to similar products made of rubber and PVC.
- EVA winter boots. Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) is an innovative modern material with unique properties in the field of frost-resistant winter footwear. Possesses excellent thermal insulation qualities, unusual lightness, excellent hydrophobicity of finished products. The unique porous structure and special composition of the material perfectly preserve, when exposed to negative temperatures, such irreplaceable qualities as frost resistance and elasticity.
- "Canadian" boots. They are a unique hybrid combination of rubber overshoes and canvas bootlegs. Also, instead of tarpaulin, leather or specially impregnated fabric is used. Other characteristics of these shoes include good frost resistance with a range from -15 to -40C, well-developed waterproofness of the boots.
